EAST WINDSOR — Janice Mironov was re-elected mayor for the 18th consecutive time Monday night at the annual township reorganization meeting.

Though she said she is excited to be mayor again, Mironov said nothing feels quite as good as the first year she was elected by her peers on the township council.

“The great thing about now is I have a lot of experience under my belt and I know how to get things done,” Mironov said. “It’s a little less sexy but fun.”

Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes, a longtime friend of Mironov, performed the swearing-in ceremony.

“I came out here to swear in not only a great mayor, but a really great friend,” Hughes said.

Alan Rosenberg was unanimously elected deputy mayor. He said he is really proud of East Windsor, especially because of how fast it recovered from Hurricane Sandy in October, and thanked residents for choosing him to represent them.

Mironov presented 10 service awards to township volunteers who serve on various community committees.

“This community is great to serve. The people are very generous in both spirit and time,” Mironov said.

She said she is looking forward to generating new jobs this year, especially with the expansion of cosmetics company Shiseido.

“We’re very excited about that. They’ve been a great neighbor and we are excited to see them expand,” she said.

Mironov appointed council members and residents to various boards and commissions.
“The appointments are perfect, the people are perfect, and isn’t it nice that people volunteer for these positions,” said new council member John Zoller.

The council also made the following appointments for 2013: David E. Orron, township attorney; Jeffrey Rubin, township prosecutor; and Robert Schwartz, public defender.
